Senior Manager, NPI & Strategic Initiatives

Inte Pros is seeking an experienced finance professional to serve as Senior Manager, NPI & Strategic Initiatives within a growing Finance Operations organization.

• Monitor performance against approved financial expectations and identify delays, scope changes, cost under-recovery, and other emerging risks.
• Provide constructive financial challenge, quantify business impacts, and support corrective actions and escalation when needed.
• Prepare concise NPI performance reviews and executive updates, including key decisions, owners, risks, and follow-through.
• Ensure priority NPI programs maintain appropriate financial rigor, transparency, and accountability.

• Provide financial leadership for major customer awards, cross-functional programs, and other strategic initiatives.
• Develop and challenge business cases, financial models, scenario analyses, and investment evaluations.
• Evaluate assumptions, sensitivities, risks, expected returns, and potential financial outcomes.
• Establish financial baselines and track costs, timing, revenue, margin, and value realization against approved business cases.
• Identify value leakage, performance gaps, and changes to expected financial outcomes.

• Support prioritization of initiatives based on strategic importance, customer commitments, execution capacity, and financial impact.
• Partner with Finance Operations leadership on value-creation initiatives and long-range planning priorities.
• Ensure strategic initiatives deliver against their approved financial and business objectives.

• Maintain visibility into major customer awards, implementation status, expected revenue timing, and key dependencies.
• Partner with Finance leadership to assess revenue, contribution margin, capital, working capital, capacity, and resource requirements.
• Connect commercial assumptions with operational readiness and identify risks to launch timing, revenue conversion, and program profitability.
• Support initiatives designed to accelerate revenue realization, recover agreed costs, and protect customer program economics.
• Establish consistent program-level reporting that connects operational milestones to financial outcomes.
• Improve the speed, predictability, and profitability of converting awarded business into revenue.
